After vascular administration of iohexol and iopentol, 0.52% (0.44% and 0.68% respectively) of the patients experienced a late allergy-like reaction. The same frequency was reported for immediate allergy-like reactions. After administration of ionic CMs, the frequency of late allergy-like reactions was in the same range (0.42%) as for non-ionic CMs, but the frequency of immediate allergy-like reactions was much higher (6.99% vs 0.52%). Our results are in the same range as those reported by other authors. No serious adverse reactions were reported in the 32-trial series.
